Q&A
How to correctly calculate and pay your Zakat?
Zakat is not just a tax: it is an act of worship and solidarity with those in need.
Each lunar year (Hawl), every Muslim who possesses savings reaching a certain threshold must pay 2.5% of their wealth, provided that this amount has remained above the Nisab for a full year.
The Nisab is the minimum level of wealth above which Zakat becomes obligatory.
In Morocco, the Nisab can be calculated using two references:
- the value of 85 grams of gold
- or the value of 595 grams of silver
In practice, many scholars recommend using silver, as it allows more people to benefit.
For reference (values vary depending on the market):
approximately between 6,000 and 8,000 dirhams
approximately between 55,000 and 65,000 dirhams
What is Nisab ?
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must have for Zakat to become obligatory.
In other words, if your money or assets reach or exceed this amount for a full lunar year, you must pay 2.5% as Zakat.
How is it determined?
Nisab is based on the value of:
- 85 grams of gold, or
- 595 grams of silver
In practice (in Morocco):
- If your savings exceed this threshold and remain stable for 1 year → Zakat is obligatory
- If it is below → no Zakat is required
Important:
Many scholars recommend using the Nisab based on silver, as it is lower and allows more people in need to benefit.
